[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1623607, member: 307555"] One other thought. When you access your router it should have a firewall. I would set the security to it's highest level. You might have some trouble with the highest settings accessing sites or possibly with email because high security blocks a lot of ports. You may find yourself backing it off to moderate but definitely see if the firewall is on and where it is set. If you want to monitor your network you can download X11 and Wireshark. You need both programs but Wireshark will show you ALL the traffic on you network. It is a bit overwhelming but if you really want to see what is happening it will show you. If you want to try it I can try to walk you through what it will show you. Lisa [/QUOTE]
